When Lovie Smith was relieved of his duties after last year, the Buccaneers targeted Dirk Koetter almost immediately. Some believed that Dirk was going to get away, so they let Lovie go in order to promote him quickly. Nobody wanted him to interview for other teams so he quickly got the job.

So with that, we take a look at Dirk Koetter’s first eight games as a head coach. What grade would you give him?
